Talk with an author Dr. Vishal Bhadani

On January 1, 2019, Dilip sir, organized the guest Lacture of Vishal Bhadani. He talked about the short stories 'Fictional' and its importance in the lives of its ordinary people. Vishal Sir read his two stories and also gave tips for writing short stories or any work.

I had read three short stories of 'Fictional' which is Mara Hath ni Vat nathi. This storie is relate to middle class people.

(1)Mara Hath ni wat nathi :-

The writer covers all the basics in this story, but the title itself is challenging. The writer connects the problems of society with different parts of the hand. Plate, Finger, Thumb etc. It connects various parts of the hand with various items, Buddha, Lord Vishnu, Devi Lakshmi, Vasco da Gama etc. In this way the author uses a lot of symbols in his work.

Translation: -

After a short story session, there is a translation session in which Vishal Sir spoke about job opportunities in the translation sector. Translation is very hard and great work as well. We have done one of the translations of the phrase.

In this way, we get knowledge about writing short stories and getting translations.

***What do you understand by Self-help book ? Is On@cc is self-help book ? Illustrate.

~Self - Help means self - guided improvement - economically , intellectually or emotionally, often with a substantial psychological basis. A self - help book is one that is written with the intention to instruct its readers on solving personal problems.

In starting of the book questions like..
# One thing I fear ,
# One thing that makes me angry ,

God or Inner call that about intelligence to show self - confidence or failure in life. Remember the 'Reverse Gear' and friendship with adversity.

We have to finds solution for problem. In the novel characters finds solutions for thier problems. Thus it is self-help book.

***Comment on Narrative structure of the Novel. Compare it with that of Life of Pi.

~One night@ call center was taken place when author on a train journey from Kanpur to Delhi at that time he meets one beautiful girl. After some conversation she tells the story to the author. She also make a condition that he will write it.

When author makes a story he puts shyam mehra as the narrator and protagonist. In story representation of God  to direct all the characters. So, it can be said that entire story is dream sequence of author like God or beautiful lady.

Yan Martel' s ' Life of Pi ' have same narrative like on@cc . Same beginning like story from the person who is also character in the story. First person narration in both the novel. Narration of God and experience with God of characters that all are similar narratives.

***Does the novel have social realism ?

~In the Novel , Human relations, love, sex, marriage and sociable characters all represent reality of society. Anxiety and reflection of rising Indian middle class , question about career , marriage , family conflicts and relationships aspirations and problem of young generation all represents social reality.

***How far can this novel be categorised as Cyberpunk ?

~Cyberpunk is a literary genre.It is subgenre of science fiction. Information technology, such programs like Microsoft office. We can find some aspects of cyberpunk in the novel. People are working in call centre, which is related with cyber technology. In Microsoft word there is a bug which is a strategy to blackmail the Americans, operation Yankee fear.

***What is popular Literature ? Is On@cc is popular Literature ? Illustrare.

~Popular Literature not deals with abstract problem. It takes moral principles as the given accepting certain generalized ideas and values as it's base. It represents common - sense values , does not raise or answer abstract questions. They represent on the whole, an instinctive or traditional, rather than a highly reflective, philosophy of life.
